Spelling is important. “Kustom” is never a good omen.

Transmission control by spraygun?

"Kustom" also used to imply George Barris rather than George at Asda. I wish people would leave stuff alone.

That transmission tunnel carpet looks like those cheap LIDL car floor mats.

I'm still looking for a scruffy runner like that but that's too many miles for me.

You could soon adjust it if it would make you feel better?

Apologies if we've had this previously, but here's an Asia Rocsta. Not cheap though.

Lol. I'm more interested in bits of broken things like electric window mechanisms, sloppy racks rear wheels leaning in etc etc. If he did the head properly which he might have done if he's that up on his records it might be OK? You never know, he might be throwing the towel in just as he's broken the back of it?

I bought one for 70 quid years back, put an axle on it for a hundred quid, did shit loads of miles on cooking oil getting paid 30p a mile flat out everywhere with the pump wound right up. Sold it with 250k on it for 150 quid. The old boy who had it was chuffed to bits with it, so they can last well, some not so much.

Saying that I drove a mk2 Cavalier years back with 250k on it and it felt like a new car as everything must have been replaced at some point.

Thanks. I'd like to think I've got a bit of Wobbery under my belt.

I was involved in some sort of personal injury scam company with a guy who owned one of those. He mentioned something strange about how the hardtop/tailgate worked but I can't remember what exactly.
